Some coaches will argue it's redundant. :p

NCAA Study Guide
 

The 2008 NCAA Study Guide (page 29 - Play 2-28) -
B1 hits a sharp, "one hopper" to the mound. F1 discovers the ball is lodged tightly between the fingers of his glove. F1 removes his glove and throws it, with the ball still lodged, to F3 in time to retire B1. Ruling: B1 is out.

There is no rule reference - but the only reference in the section is 8-3L.

Had this question on my 2010 NCAA Rules Test. Don't have the 2010 Study Guide so I don't know if it is still in the guide.

The NCAA test is increasingly making reference to other sources besides the rule book (like the CCA Mechanics Manual and the Study Guide). May be an effort to sell more books. It appears they have a dire need for funds - given the $100 charge to take the test this year.

Gotta pay for the taking over the Arbiter somehow. :rolleyes:

A definition I used for students is: A disjunctive syllogism, also known as modus tollendo ponens, is a classically valid argument form. The disjunction is true when one or both of its components (disjuncts) are true, and false when both of its components are false.

"Blind umpire" is really not a good example of an oxymoron, which simply, is the comination of words or terms that are normally and widely accepted as contradictory. "Honest Coach" comes to mind.

LOL. Good point.
